America's top radio talker Rush Limbaugh was greeted like a rock star on Monday during an appearance in San Jose, California, while taking a few days off from his regular broadcast to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament.
The packed house at the San Jose Civic Auditorium "welcomed him with a standing ovation," reported the San Jose Mercury News. "There were no hecklers or protesters, and the only shouts were of love for the host," the paper said.
"We are in the midst of a seminal historic shift in this country," Limbaugh told the audience. "The Democrat party and the media have lost their monopoly. They don't rule the roost anymore."
The watershed political moment would have amazed his father, the top talker observed. "If my father could see what's happened today, just the sight of the Democrat party would extend his life by 10 years."
That's one reason conservatives have nothing to fear from Hillary Clinton, he assured those on hand.
Still, the GOP faces a major political problem that can no longer be ignored, he warned. "The Republicans' failure to understand the American people's building rage on illegal immigration" could give rise to a third party candidate, he said, who could tip the 2008 presidential race to the Democrats, much the same way Ross Perot's campaign did in 1992.
Limbaugh also seemed to revise earlier criticism of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for not being conservative enough, telling the audience, "I was wrong."
2,700 people paid $40 a piece to see Limbaugh live. Proceeds from the event will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a charity Limbaugh has supported since he went national in 1988.
How come you attack me, but not Hanoi Kerry?
mmmmmm
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! It's too damn late, throw dem shoes away!!!!!!!!!
AAARRRGH! Stop saying that - Rush does not support MOB RULE (which is what democracy is). I know he has fallen prey to that somewhat chic-of-late mentality of calling our government a democracy, but it is a represenative republic, as he and i am sure you know.
He deserves it, especially after taking the right stand on illegal immigration.
Becuase you're nucking futs?
but not Hanoi Kerry?
Because John Kerry isn't crapping up this thread right now?
Now hurry off sparky, and get some gasoline....
I shudder to think of the groupies.
And for what it's worth, I think it's raining in Oregon so it's going to be a long day...........

Oh don't get technical -- we all know what a PURE democracy is. But that is the accepted term besides the more perfect definition of being a representative republic...just semantics.
Please, don't waste your time......I recently read an interview with the space alien in the Enquirer where he/she says definitely that Kerry is not going to run in 2008. What a quandry! Who am I to believe?
I actually like Hedgecock a lot, but he's not Rush. Rush is our own conservative icon who has done more for us and has identified and blasted more liberal idiots than anyone else in the past 15 years.
"Well, you've promoted your profile page here on this thread to ad nauseam. Nope, I ain't gonna go there, as I have tried to wade through the endless graphics you post on the canteen."
Don't. I could care less what you and your insulting fire bug friends here think.
LEAVE the Canteen out of this!
Got it?
No, I don't "got it". Are you threatening me, SIR?
Pay attention, this is NOT a threat.
Leave the Canteen out of this.
Got it?
THIS is a threat, to me.
